BWLD is the only HOT think going in the restuarant business, they got downgraded so that someone can get in cheap, hold on til the shorts get squezed in October! ReplyDefense Spending and the Presidential Election [view article]
The British won nearly every battle in OUR war of independence, but in the end they had to leave.We lost in Vietnam because we were on the wrong side from the beginning. In 1946, after fighting the Japanese in WW2, the Vietnamese declared their independence, in a document modeled on our own. We decided to support the French, who had been on their backs under Nazi rule for 4 years, retaking control of their colonies in Indochina. It took the Vietnamese 29 years to defeat the colonialists, first the French (we paid 90% of their costs; they just had to supply the bodies) and then the Americans. Not our finest hour. Not something we should repeat.
The American public finally pulled the plug on a stupid and wasteful war that had always been based on lies (e.g., the Tonkin Gulf incident). We would never have "won" that war. The Vietnamese would have fought until we left, however long that took. We certainly did enough damage to both countries. Reply
Defense Spending and the Presidential Election [view article]
As a V/N vet, I can add a little bit of perspective-hopefully useful and as objective as this report is. WE won almost every battle, but lost the one re. the civilian 'stomach for war'. It was our first full scale operation against guerillas under the radar. Just as the intelligence ops were separate and competitive on 9/11, and since has become more homogenized-we are much better at CAS or close air support. Whenever and wherever there are ground soldiers, e.g. Afghanistan's rugged terrain -ideal guerilla topography-we have helicopter gunships, A-10 Wart hogs, and the side firing , night flying, C-130 ordinance platforms all standing by, hovering, and ready to spray fire on any one foolish enough to identify his location by his own muzzle flash. We recently even chased a group into Pakistan and obliterated them, much to the ire of Pakistan. The point being, if any of you watched both conventions, as i did, heard the 'this is not the time for young lawyers on training wheels" facetious remarks in St.Paul-please take note that our enemy is regrouping in Pakistan, and will certainly be profoundly encouraged by Obama's election. While the terminally idealistic like to think that appeasement, negotiation, diplomacy, & sanctions, all sound so very plausible-the simple fact remains that our enemy still thinks of us, Obama included, as "The Great Satan"...they have no intention of negotiating with Satan.In a word, we truly have lost the will to fight. And why not? With our iPods in our ears, our advancement to Boardwalk foremost in our minds, and busy painting our faces to attend the NFL game? We 'can't be bothered with the messy business of being at war'. As much as we would all like to close our eyes and 'cause it to disappear from view'...it ain't boys and girls! It just ain't. Nice try. I'm happy that you've found the moral high ground. Our enemy does not see you as standing on moral high ground...they see the egregious, unbridled greed that dragged the economy down the primrose path to the abyss we are 'enjoying now' - so we could all indulge our sopohmoric lusts for lots of 'stuff'. They see pornography and gambling on every corner, and the biggest customer for illicit drugs in the world...they feel a 'need' to destroy us.
Thus I adjure everyone to focus on the final words of McCain's convention address...."Stand up and fight...stand up and fight...stand up and fight". Put it down, and step away from your iPods. We are at war. Remind yourselves that the dollar of 1965, when homes could be bought for $18K, is worth a dime today. Viewed from that perspective, this war is cheap. Remembering that more men were shot dead in a matter of hours at the Battle of the Bulge in WWII...this casualty rate is phenomenally low. Gird your trembling loins, and stand up and fight. OR...you could run home to mamaobama. "Protect me Daddy"...clue...h... ain't gonna protect you from anything. He's only one man. A young, idealistic, but inexperienced young man who stutters, and has a hard time finishing a sentience. he won't be able to finish anything. Reply

sorry for the double post ReplyStocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
I have a question. Does anyone know if there is a higher interest rate on the loan for a short sale if the price of the stock goes higher than the price that you sold it at? Thanks ReplyStocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]

Sorry last sentence should be:The long interest is the float. High short % presumably increases buying interest above normal trading volumes. Reply
Stocks with the Highest Short Interest [view article]
Shorted stocks supposedly are borrowed from longs via the longs' brokers and sold. (I say supposedly because naked shorting has become quite the fashion but I will let more sophisticated traders tell us how that works.) The short speculator or arbitrager has cash and owes the long the stock. Should the stock go down, the short purchases it on the open market and returns the stock to the long. The difference is the profit. Should the stock go up, the short must repurchase at a loss and replace. Thus the % of the stock float sold short shows you how much potential pent-up buying exists in a given security. If the shorts are wrong about a stock, their buying tacked on to normal buying can result in excessive movements to the upside.Thus the float is the long interest plus the short covering potential.

Sun Hydraulics (SNHY) is trading at $32 which is $10 down from it's 3 month high and their latest earnings report on Aug 5th beat the estimate by 7%. Is is time to revisit SNHY? This seems like a good entry point. ReplyLutz

Great Article...I am very bullish on the defense sector for the very long term (this is a China play no one really talks about)... I agree with many points that you make especially with regards to the political elections...I will making a wishlist of defense companies before the election...If Senator Obama wins it is possible that some of these stocks may decline to even more attractive levels (while the fundamentals will remain virtually unchanged)...I guess we'll just have to hope and wait and see...
